Problem 1(10 points) A fluid flows upward in an inclined circular pipe of diameter 0.2 m , which has a mean roughness of 0.2 mm . The flow is steady and fully developed. The volumetric flow rate is Q=0.0475m3s. A section of the pipe has a length of 2 m with an elevation rise of 1 m .
(a) If the fluid is SAE50W oil (=902kgm3,=0.86kgm*s), is this flow laminar or turbulent? If the flow is laminar, find the maximum speed. Also compute the pressure drop over this section of the pipe (5 points).
(b) If the fluid is water (=1000kgm3,=0.001kgm*s), is the flow laminar or turbulent? If the flow is laminar, find the maximum speed. Also Compute the pressure drop over this section of the pipe (5 points).
